Longtime frontrunner Tom Wolf continues to enjoy a wide lead in the Democratic race for governor, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

Mr. Wolf, a York County businessman, had the support of 37 percent of likely voters to 20 percent for U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, 12 percent for state Treasurer Rob McCord and 3 percent for former state environmental secretary Katie McGinty, according to the poll by Franklin & Marshall College.

The poll of 530 likely Democratic voters was conducted between May 6 and Monday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points. It was the first of F&M’s polls to screen for likely voters, but the results remain consistent with previous F&M polls that lack the same screening and other organization’s polling.

“The fundamental point is that despite a very serious barrage of negative commercials, Tom Wolf still maintains a substantial lead,” said G. Terry Madonna, Ph.D. “I won’t say he’s got it wrapped up, but it would be without precedent for someone to lose a gubernatorial (primary) election with a 17-point lead with a week to go.”

The primary election is Tuesday.
